RICHARD/ROWAN
Never afraid to challenge himself by undertaking impossibly intricate work, Richard Rowan’s artistic practice demands new techniques. His precise and painstaking ‘back to front’ method of applying oils on glass, working from the foreground backwards, not only lends itself beautifully to the subject matter, but begs the question, how does he do it? With each layer needing up to two weeks to dry, before adding the aurora as the final element, timing truly is everything. “I believe the minute I stop learning is the minute I stop painting. Every single painting has a new technique - no one painting can come close to being the same.”
